The Appearance Of Abnormality
Chapter Nineteen: Trial By Grumpy Old Men
Temjin and Sord had been traveling for about seven days when...
"Here we are Sord.", said Temjin.
"Ahh quit shitting me.", said Sord, tired and irritated. "You have done this bit before. I don't see anything anyway."
"No, I am serious.", said Temjin, pulling back some low laying branches at show a large, circular temple. "Behold the Citadel of Del Arnon. This is the temple of the Mad Cabbage Style."
Sord stared for the longest time looking up at the large temple. He managed to speak the words, "Holy Shit. Would you look at that? Its huge!"
"That is usually the reaction of a first timer to the temple.", said Temjin. "Now remember Sord, the Canteroil Council will be questioning your ethics and who knows what else. They are mostly old men and women, none under the age of 70."
"I am prepared.", said Sord. "I am prepared for anything."
"Don't screw this up, Sord.", said Temjin. "And not only will you be dead, but I will be out of the order."
As they approached the large slab door of the temple, two FOnewearls crossed their rods and one said, "Halt! State your name and business!"
"Temjin-On, Mad Cabbage Style Master. Here to meet with the Canteroil Council.", said Temjin, giving a strange salute.
The salute was returned from the door guards and then the other said, "Welcome home, Master Temjin. And who is that? No HUmar can enter this place."
"He is with me. We are going to meet with the Canteroil Council.", said Temjin, with a blush.
The door guards just gave her a morbid look and allowed them entrance. Just then, one of the guards turned around and smiled, "Good Luck!"
Meanwhile, back home, Calome was giving birth to something new and exciting.
"God damn!", said Josh. "I cant believe they wouldn't let me video tape the birth."
"Cause they know you'd sell the tape later, you sick bastard.", said Anju, sipping on a cup of coffee.
"Oh I would not.", said Josh. "And I was drunk! Get over it! Im sure you do tons of dumb ass stuff when your drunk off your ass. So I grabbed your ass! Big deal!"
"Just drop it you two!", said Sir w00tsalot, walking into the waiting room, knocking over a couple trash cans.
"How the hell did you get in here?", asked Headphones. "I thought it was no animals allowed."
"Don't ask me, the door was open.", replied Sir w00tsalot.
Sachi soon emerged from the delivery room, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"What's with you?", asked Odie.
"Do you need a hug?", asked Josh, who was quickly silenced by Anju.
"I just witnessed the birth of a new species.", said Sachi. "Its unlike anything I have ever seen before in my life."
"Whoa... thats deep.", said Headphones.
"A...new...species?", asked Anju. "What is it like?"
"They are calling it the Newcast.", replied Sachi. "They look like normal Newmans, but they have data port ears."
"Thats deep.", said Headphones again.
"How many are there?", asked Anju.
"Two, a boy and a girl. Twins.", replied Sachi. "Names are Hideki and Elus."
"How did the Love Bot take the birth?", asked Sir w00tsalot.
"Well... They had to give him medicine to stop him from trying to rape the life support machines and the incubators.", replied Sachi, chuckling.
Back At the temple, Temjin and Sord now went before the Canteroil Council, who would decide their future together.
"Great council.", said Temjin. "I have come here with this man do get permission to carry on a relationship with him, as stated I must do in the Canteroil System."
"Have this one step forth.", said one member. "Step forth, and your test will begin."
Sord stepped forward and said, "My name is Sord, and I have come here with Temjin because of all that stuff Temjin just said."
"Mr. Sord.", asked another member of the council. "What is your stance on pornography?"
"Pornography?", repeated Sord.
"Oh god...", muttered Temjin, smacking her forehead.
"I think that porno is educational.", said Sord. "It is part of growing up for most young men, in my opinion."
"I see...", said a member of the council. "And would you think yourself a player, as they say?"
"By all means no.", said Sord. "I wish to have sex as much as the next guy."
"Well then, we now go to deliberate.", said the head of the council.
The council came back ten minutes later with a response.
"We the Canteroil Council.", stated the head of the Council. "We will not back this relationship. If you so chose to pursue it, you will be expelled from the order, Temjin-On."
"But wait, you have not herd my feelings yet!", said Sord. "Sure, basing your decisions on how most guys are, you wouldn't want Temjin to go to just anyone. But I love her. I have since I met her and I will till I die. I am willing to die for her, and though I am not sure how she feels in return, I swear on my life that I will remain faithful to her for the rest of my life and beyond!"
"Then, we will back this relationship.", said the head of the Council. "You passed the final test."
Temjin and Sord walked out of the temple and set off for home, holding hands.
